CLICK HERE for the Dallas Police Department Towing Ordinance FAQ Page.

 

WHAT IS PROOF OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?

The Dallas Police Department’s Auto Pound requires proof of financial responsibility in order to drive a car out of the lot.  This means that you must show proof of insurance and that the insurance policy must be valid and in effect.  The Dallas Auto Pound will not release your car without proof of insurance (unless you are a Lien holder repossessing the vehicle, a Motor Vehicle Insurance Company or taking an Auctioned Vehicle).

You MUST ALWAYS CARRY PROOF OF INSURANCE IN DALLAS.  According to the Dallas Police Department Website, if your car is towed due to you having NO INSURANCE, a citation will be issued and the fees can not be waived.  It is important to keep your car insurance policy updated and to carry your proof of insurance/insurance card at all times.  Please note, many auto insurance companies will offer you a digital insurance card which is accessible by phone.  Many Governmental Agencies do not accept such e-insurance cards as valid proof of insurance.

 

COST TO RETRIEVE TOWED VEHICLE IN DALLAS

The Towing Fees in Dallas are generally $121 if the towed car is picked up on the same day.  You will also have to pay a $20 impound fee which is for administrative costs related to towing.  You will pay an additional $20 for every additional day the vehicle is at the auto pound.  But wait, that’s not all, if the vehicle is at the Dallas Auto Pound for more than 48 hours, a notification letter is sent.  You will have to pay an additional $50 for the notification fee.

Best Advice: GET YOUR VEHICLE OUT OF THE DALLAS AUTO POUND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  After 48 hours, your towed car fees will rise approximately $70!

 

CLAIMING A VEHICLE AT THE DALLAS AUTO POUND

The Dallas Police Department has an auto pound page which lists the current documents which you will need in order to claim a vehicle located at the Dallas Auto Pound.  These documents include the Title (in your name), a valid registration (in your name) and if you are picking the vehicle up for someone, you must have a notarized original “authorization to release automobile” form (not a copy).  A lien Holder has to also present a Hold Harmless Afidavit as well.
